Yeah the 4R100 is a real turd. This truck came with fifth wheel rails in the bed so there's probably a lot of metal on the pan magnet. More metal than usual that is. I just don't really enjoy the experience of the ZF5/ZF6 in traffic plus finding a manual truck means spending even more on a big shitbox with 20 years of deferred maintenance items to go through. This poor, tired super duty will be a nice incremental upgrade for my poor, tired OBS though. Pretty stoked on having cupholders and hydroboost

Noped the hell out of the 6.4 experience. 7.3s will just start burning more oil than diesel while drooling all over itself. chrisgt posted:Unfortunately, a honda civic makes more power than a 4R100 can handle. Too true. Garbage transmissions they are. They suck empty, they suck loaded. They break behind an engine that makes no power at all. I have one of the early close-ratio ZF5s and the ratios are allll friggin wrong for towing. I've not driven the later wider-close-ratio ZF5 or the 6. Best option: Allison 3060 swap. E: less derail

Since I last posted in here, I have also done a black headliner swap (which was a lot more work than it sounds), and swapped the raised allroad roof rails for the flush B8 avant roof rails. Also removed the satin black vinyl on the roof, swapped the black exhaust tips and trunk emblem for chrome. Also had my roof box paint-matched (again).   I still have the XJ but it only gets driven once or twice a week. For once, I have no plans to change cars in the near future. DropShadow fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Nov 5, 2021 |

We're trying to figure out which route to go near/longer term I have sort of gone down the overlanding black hole in my thread HERE There is an RV thread in The Great Outdoors HERE  This quickly evolved because camping is in fact good and cool and being able to do it with some comforts in a minimalist style is something I really like.

Turns out that as fun as the Abarth was, it was poo poo for a 90-minute commute. Carvana paid me $1200 more than I paid for it earlier this year, and brought me a boring replacement for a few dollars more.    Just your basic 2015 Fit EX 6MT. I’ve had this exhaust lying around my house and a buddy’s place since I sold my last Fit in ‘16 and I’ll put it on this one next chance I get. It’s not really any louder but looks better than the OEM downturn. It’s called (no joke) the HKS COOL STYLE

I cut my mufflers off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gioQysqK68 And then put smaller ones back on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qU5u_7z0Ug compare to OEM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHhBn_P4cKw I expect they'll get a little louder as they age, which I want. I really expected the open exhaust to be a lot louder!

LloydDobler posted:Volvo has had those in all their wagons and SUVs since 01, not sure about anyone else. Also sedans I think? I seem to remember the 04 S60 I had for all of 2 weeks had them as well. I forget as I barely spent any time in that car that wasn't in the driver's seat. On that note, I've had a car again for a week now. Not posting it until it passes the 2 week mark without blowing a head gasket, though.

Thank youPBCrunch posted:Could you please provide some additional information about this?  I bought an ABS unit from a 2003+ M3, built a mount for the unit, plumbed BMW pressure sensors in line with the front and rear master cylinder lines to the ABS unit, cut the stock 3 brake lines and ran new ones with BMW flares on the ABS unit side, ran a new brake line to the right rear brake caliper line, mounted the BMW yaw sensor on the transmission tunnel, made rear brake sensor adapters for the BMW ABS sensors, trimmed some tabs on the front BMW ABS sensors and drilled new mounting holes in the spindles, then plugged in a 3DM Motorsports MK60 standalone wiring harness. Bleeding / calibrating sensors is handled through an OBD port and BMW INPA software. CSL parameters are done with NCSDummy and NCSExpert.
